hi, guys. it seems that all this discussion if because gcl needs to have ANSI enabled to compile maxima. Instead of recompiling gcl with --enable-ansi, and have to work with the brk and sbrk problems, the best is to enable ANSI in gcl. For that, after installing gcl ($ sudo apt-get install gcl), reconfigure gcl with

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure gcl

and answer yes to the question about ANSI. After finished, try compile maxima.

cheers...
